Historical background – Tiger 1 Late

The Tiger 1 was a heavy tank used by Nazi Germany from 1942 to 1945 on all World War II fronts, including the Battle of Kursk, the Normandy campaign, and the Italian front. The Late production version, manufactured from late 1943, featured reinforced armor, improved turret construction, as well as numerous simplified manufacturing solutions such as a welded hull and a one-piece turret ring. The Tiger 1 became famous for its exceptional firepower and durability on the battlefield, striking fear into Allied tank crews.
